Thanks Rich I was going to try to use the shredder attachment(the one I use for cheese)and see if that worked. I wondered if that was all that Ivory Flakes was...just flaked bar soap?

I remember my Mom using Ivory Flakes for all baby laundry & delicates and the smell/feel of everything afterward was great. Ivory snow, while nice, just doesn't have the same effect. I just read another thread about the aluminum tub Maytag Wringers and discoloration because of certain detergents...

Get The Motor Get it if the tub is still in good condition....repairing a vintage Maytag is like repairing a vintage Mercedes Benz. If the body is fine, mechanical parts can be replaced and you still have a great machine. I now have a collection of WU-series Maytags...which have always been my...

Hi Everyone- Does anyone know where to get Top Job Original Scent cleaner (by Heritage Brands LLC) or Mr Clean Top Job (by Procter & Gamble)? Thanks for the help. Joe

Links Travis- try www.repairclinic.com and www.appliancepartsworldwide.com Search by both model # and part #- they have a lot of parts for Vintage Maytag. I have a white A700 that I acquired from Mike Arnold and I have found parts for it on both.

Thank You Thanks Guys for the advice/info. I will check out the closed cell foam today. One thing is that the current gasket has a lip that slips behind a framing on the door and the actual seal in front of it. The door liner then slips between the front part of the gasket and the framing on...

Hi everyone... I am in the process of re-doing a 40's Kelvinator Refrig and have to replace the door insulation. Any advice on what is best to use? I have my idea, but want to see if there is someone who has already done it and knows better. Thanks :)

Belt Drive vs Direct Drive My parents had a WU302 and I currently have a WU203 which I have restored. Both were/are belt drive. I do love that wash system...it's cleaning ability and the sound it makes while washing. Is there really that much difference in the performance and sound of belt vs...

Hi Ben, Tried to e mail you direct, but it wouldn't go through. Please contact me. I want the machine if we can work it out. [email protected] Thanks, Joe

YES

Thanks Thank You both....the advice and info is very helpful. I now have 3 of the 4 burners lighting with the pilot and will keep working on it.

Does anyone know how to adjust the top burner pilots and can they be turned off completely so the burners can be match lit? The pilots on mine light and stay lit. The left side burners light from the lit pilot, but the right side burners won't light from the lit pilot. I can match light the...

Thanks Mike for the Gooseneck and Connector sent to me oh so long ago... to complete my '54 Maytag. Now if I can figure out why after not using it for months there is a puddle of oil under it's back leg....

Laundress Thank You for the "Yoo-Hoo". I am planning on picking it up Sat. I have not been around for a while and I was thrilled to find this my first day back. Thanks Again!

Tom Thanks for the input. I can't remember if the water was slippery feeling. I will test that next time. I will try adding calgon water softner to the water and see if it helps. I remember Gram's tub being discolored too. I do leave the agitator tipped and lid cracked open (as Gram did) and...

That was a great link. I am one to have to understand the techinical side of everything, and that explained it perfectly. Thanks for all the info Steve.

As I have gotten older, how I have learned just how true that is. I just noticed that it leaves a balckish residue on my hand when I rub over it...wondering if that is transferred onto the clothes?

Steve Thanks for the suggestions....do I have to do it everytime I use it?

Any way to keep that tub nice and shiny? Are there certain detergents that are bad for it? I never use chlorine bleach in it and I polished it to look new, but after 1 use it was all tarnished using Ivory Snow. Any thoughts?
